Hi!  Can you create for me the configure.in and Makefile.am
files I need to build this simple program? I'm not a complete
idiot, but I am finding it frusterating to figure out things
like "how do I specify which libraries need to be linked" and
"How do I specify -I include paths in configure.in".

Requirements:

1. The library libInputOutput.a placed in ./libs/
2. Specify whether or not the preprocessor directive NEWLINE
   is activated for InputOutput by passing "--with-newline"
   to the configure script.
3. After adding COPYING, INSTALL, etc, I am able to
   successfully execute these commands:
    aclocal
    autoconf
    automake
    ./configure
    gmake
    ./wherever/a.out

I am using RedHat 7.3 which includes:
 aclocal  versions 1.4-p5 & 1.5
 automake versions 1.4-p5 & 1.5
 autoconf versions 2.13   & 2.5

Yesterday I learned that one version of automake likes
makefiles in AC_CONFIG_FILES() while another likes
AC_OUTPUT().  If you were not aware of this fact, please do
not provide an answer for me (the idea being I want someone
who knows more about this than I do).

I expect you to provide me with at least these files:
 ./configure.in
 ./Makefile.am
 ./InputOutput/Makefile.am
 ./Application/Makefile.am

Thanks for your help!  Oh, and I won't take "RTFM" as an 
answer... if I wanted that, I'd go to Usenet! :)
